Why Posting Your Job Ad Everywhere Doesn't Work - ep. 258

This episode begins a new series looking at why the familiar recruitment playbook keeps failing veterinary clinics. Julie South starts with the first and most common response to a vacancy: posting job ads everywhere and hoping one platform will finally deliver a different outcome. Using current data from across Australia and New Zealand, Julie explains how rotating job boards and increasing spend doesn’t change what vets and nurses experience when they scroll. The problem isn’t effort or intent — it’s that clinics are trying to solve a recognition problem with reach. This episode addresses a moment many clinic owners and managers recognise: doing what’s expected, paying for multiple platforms, and still waiting. Julie unpacks how pattern-matching and familiarity shape attention, and why exposure without recognition simply adds to the noise.
